Vintage TV

I was just dinking around on YouTube the other day and found the opening theme songs to some reeeeally old—and I’m not kidding—TV shows. Now, I realize that these critters truly date me in a pretty unflattering way, but I’m a sturdy mountain woman. I’ll handle it. Besides, it will be so good for all you “youngsters” to see what was on TV back when there were 5 channels and most of the them were in black and white. Besides, they’re pretty funny–in a lame sort of way.

For those of you who don’t know who Patti Duke is, she played Helen Keller in the movie, “The Miracle Worker,” and is also the mom of Sean Astin (Sam in “Lord of the Rings”) and Mackenzie Astin (Iron Will)

Gilligan’s Island happens to be my 11 yr olds favorite. We have bought her the first 2 complete seasons on DVD. My girls laugh their heads off and it is such good clean entertainment. ShopKo has lots of the old shows on DVD – they are usually a whole seasons worth. Such great memories!

I think the reason these are sooo appealing is because they are just simple and cute! 🙂 You don’t have to worry about what you’re going to see! I love Andy Griffith… it’s true! It makes me wonder why society decided not to teach kids respect and manners any more. 😛

My favorite vintage show was Lost in Space. Warning, Warning!!! (Can’t you see my arms flailing?) My friends & I would play Lost in Space in our everyday life. I was Penny (I think that was here name. I’m old now, so my memory isn’t the best).
